Weekend Review: Ronaldo returns for Man United, Bayern Munich done tearing apart Leipzig for now, Atletico grinds against Espanyol, and Napoli pounces on Juve's errors
Graham is back! Smiley face. But Joe is absent. Sad face. Nevertheless, there's a whole lot of weekend to review, and we get right to it... by discussing the VMAs. But then it's on to...1) Manchester United's win over Newcastle with Ronaldo returning, starting, and scoring a brace. And also, Jesse Lingard is still alive!2) Bayern Munich demonstrates that if you take a club's manager, best defender and most important attacking facilitator, it's much harder for them to cause you problems. Just ask Leipzig.3) Napoli continues the strong start with a 2-1 over Juventus, whose individual mistakes have us wondering what Allegri needs to fix first and fastest.4) Atletico were different, and then familiar... and then they ended up getting two late goals to earn a 2-1 win, thereby proving that the club will never change.

Retiring Messi's jersey, Solskjaer's virtues, new throw-in rules, and more listener questions!
On today’s show, Ryan Bailey and Graham Ruthven answer your listener questions! More specifically, these listener questions...1) Scotland in the 70's and 80's seems to have had a lot of top-end players. Is it correct to say Scotland underperformed heavily in that era and if so, what were the reasons?2) Is Poophousery strategic? Can it be taught? Can it elevate an otherwise less-skilled team to success at scale?3) We hear a lot of criticism about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. To flip it positive: what is Ole really good at?4) Is retiring a jersey a thing in soccer? Should Barcelona retire the No.10 jersey?5) Did Liverpool trick everyone into thinking Coutinho was good, or was he actually good?6) What would happen if FIFA changed the throw-in rule to allow any types of throws. Which would be the most used? Would throw-ins become a bigger or smaller part of the game? Would there be throw-in specialists?7) Is the FIFA video game a positive for kids to play? On one hand, it helps kids get into the sport and understand some of the roles. On the other, it’s not a very accurate facsimile of the game and some traits appear under or overvalued.Sponsors!

David Amoyal of The Calcioland Podcast returns to the show to take a look at the 2021-2022 Serie A season. We discuss Italy's win this summer at the Euros and which players impressed the most, before moving on to discuss the strange reality of 5 of the league's top 7 teams having new managers in charge. Then we get into some team-specific talk:1) Inter Milan - Is the situation at the club as bad as it seems, and what are the immediate challenges for new manager Simone Inzaghi?2) Roma - Has Jose Mourinho been hired to rebuild the club or with an eye towards his past glories?3) Lazio - What will the team shape be under Maurizio Sarri, and which player will need to adapt his game the most?4) Napoli - The underdog/dark horse/least heralded club that has a chance to win it all. Plus, why Luciano Spalletti deserves more love!5) Fiorentina - Why was Gattuso in charge for only a month, and is the hype around his replacement justified? Short answer: yes!6) Juventus - A familiar face is back in charge: what will Allegri's return mean for established veterans, newbies and youngsters alike?7) Atalanta - Spending money on proven defenders is never a bad idea, but will it be enough?8) Milan - How much pressure is on Stefano Pioli, how much roster construction remains, and what are the odds Conte takes over at some point?9) Venezia - Will they stay up and how will they go about doing so?Sponsors!
